The man's question made Xue Yutang dumbfounded: "You don't know what a cultivator is?"

The three of them shook their heads and said they didn't know, Xue Yutang closed his eyes in pain, and after a long while, he opened his eyes and said slowly, "Then how did you arrange the spirit array?"

The man glanced at the second woman and said, "Do you mean what traps you?"

Xue Yutang nodded, the man thought for a long time, and said, "That's what we used to catch wild boars!"

Xue Yutang originally wanted to take a sip of tea, but he choked and coughed: "Catching wild boars?"

"yes!"

Xue Yutang was helpless: "Who taught you that?"

The man replied, "No one taught us, I learned it from a broken book I picked up in the cave!"

Xue Yutang looked at the man in a daze, and said helplessly: "Where are you from? What are you called, can you tell me what happened?"

Only then did the man remember that he had never introduced himself to Xue Yutang from beginning to end, scratched his hair, and was a little embarrassed: "My name is Gao Jian, and these two are my sisters, one is named Li Ling and the other is called Li Yue! Our home is not very far from here, in a small village outside the city. ”

Xue Yutang was stunned: "Your name is Gao Jian, your surname is Gao, why are they surnamed Li?"

Gao Jian touched his head: "We are all orphans, they were picked up in the forest when I was a child! My father is a teaching gentleman, he died when I was twelve years old, and I also picked them up that year!"

"What about your mother?" Xue Yutang regretted a little after asking, after all, he had his secret for anyone.

"I haven't seen her for as long as I can remember, and he won't tell my father when I ask him. Although Gao Jian didn't look concerned, Xue Yutang still saw a trace of loss in his eyes.

Xue Yutang snorted: "Tell me how you picked up that spirit array!"

Gao Jian smiled: " In fact, it's nothing, we are orphans, grandma doesn't love uncle doesn't love, they all say that there are many beautiful things in the world, but I don't feel it, when my father was alive, he was quite prestigious in the village, and the most he did was to teach the children in the village to read for free, he always said that people want to be more literate if they want to be productive, but after he died, at first it was better, some people could still read his good, and took care of me, but after a long time, there were more and more people in the village who said cool words, and the people who took care of me couldn't stand the gossip, and gradually never came to the door again, and finally intensified the bullying of me The most fierce is them, my home is in addition to the house, The rest have been robbed by the people in the village, my family is also considered a rich family, there are a lot of fields, and now there is not a single acre, forget it, anyway, I don't care, I have been literate since I was a child, although I read a lot, but my father did not teach me to farm, and I will not plant if I give it to me. ”

Xue Yutang observed Gao Jian, but in his eyes, he did not have the disgust and hatred of ordinary people after being bullied.

"I still have their sisters to feed, they were still young at that time, three mouths to fill, I have to do something, hunting is easier than growing crops, I secretly go up the mountain alone, learn the methods in the books to make traps, but it is easier said than done, it is difficult to distinguish the smell, look for the place where the beast often passes, according to the feces to distinguish the size of the beast, no one taught me, everything depends on their own little by little groping, sometimes a few days can not catch a beast, hunger is a common thing, especially in winter, if you can't beat the beast, you can only starve, in the summer you can pick some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, but in winter there are no leaves。 ”

Xue Yutang listened quietly, but the two girls were already in tears, and the man didn't seem to be talking about his own business: "Actually, I can bear all this, the key is the village." Some scoundrels, often take advantage of my absence at home to bully my sisters, once almost insulted them, I was angry, carrying a firewood knife to cut them all, the villagers were afraid of me, so they reported to the official, I had to lead their sisters to flee to the mountains, aimlessly escaped, inadvertently found a cave in the mountains is suitable for living, but there is a corpse there, I am afraid that their sisters are afraid of secretly burying it, the corpse has weathered only a skeleton, only a tattered book can still be read, at first I didn't care, maybe it was really boring。 ”

Gao Jian took a sip of tea and continued: "I looked through this book and found that this thing is more like an enhanced version of the trap, so I tried to arrange it in the way above, but this thing is too difficult, and it actually has to match the body shape, I studied it for a long time before I arranged it." ”

Xue Yutang was a little stupid, the figure he said was probably the method, but he didn't go mad by mistake.

"Later, I found out that this body shape has been practiced for a long time, and the body has improved a lot, after all, living in the mountains, no better than the village, moisture, mosquitoes, all aspects of the conditions are very poor, and their sisters' health is not good, I tried to teach them this body, thinking that they are also in better health, but I did not expect that the ability to catch beasts is getting stronger and stronger, a few days ago I took the beasts I caught to the market to sell, and a richly dressed boy came, asked me a bunch of questions, and let me demonstrate the method of hunting, so I followed a person here, saying that he wanted to catch a heinous bad man, and promised to give me a hundred taels of silver after the deed, I thought about it, and I agreed!"

When Xue Yutang heard this, he looked at this Gao Jian, who was older than himself but as simple as a child, with tears and laughter: "My Xue Yutang's life is worth a hundred taels to you?"

Gao Jian was a little embarrassed: "When I saw that they were arresting a few girls, I knew that I had been fooled!

Xue Yutang asked, "Why do you know that you are fooled when you see a girl?"

"Girls can't be bad people!" Gao Jian said categorically, scorching Xue Yutang's thunder on the outside and on the inside, what kind of logic is this, who stipulates that girls can't be bad people? But it's hard for him to think so, otherwise he probably wouldn't have broken the spirit array so easily today, and the price might be very painful.

"Did I kill that Spirit Array Master, with you?"

"Spirit Array Master?" Gao Jian thought for a moment: "Oh, I don't know that person, it was that boy who asked us to follow him!"

Xue Yutang smiled secretly in his heart: This Gao Jian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although his mind is simple, but he sold that Spirit Array Master at that time, the fundamental reason is that he didn't want to hurt his two younger sisters.

"What does that boy look like?"

Gao Jian thought for a long time: "There is nothing special, just the clothes are very luxurious." ”

Xue Yutang asked again: "Is it holding a folding fan in your hand, looking very handsome, and looking like a second ancestor?"

Gao Jian nodded: "Almost, anyway, he smiled quite kindly." ”

Xue Yutang can basically be sure that it is Cheng Qiang, it seems that he is still a thief, and he must not let him go next time he meets him, but Xue Yutang estimates that it will be difficult for him to meet him again, and he will only hide in the shadows to deal with himself now.

Xue Yutang stared at the three of them with a smile, looking left and right, and looked embarrassed at Li Ling and Li Yue, just when Gao Jian was about to speak, Xue Yutang smiled: "Gao Jian, your Dao heart is basically finalized, but you can still smooth it out, their sisters' Dao heart has not yet been fully established, do you want them to worship me as a teacher?"

Gao Jian was stunned for a moment: "Worship you as a teacher?" He began to suspect that Xue Yutang had bad intentions, but after thinking about it, he asked: "Worship you as a teacher and become the cultivator you say?"

Xue Yutang nodded: "That's right, your two younger sisters have good qualifications, it's a pity if you don't cultivate!"

Gao Jian thought for a moment: "Okay! But you can't hit them!"

Xue Yutang laughed: "I'm not a landlord and an old man, and they're not slaves who sell themselves, why am I beating them?"

Gao Jian became happy at this time: "Li Ling and Li Yue will kowtow to the master and serve tea!"

Li Ling and Li Yue sisters immediately stood up, poured out two cups of tea from the pot, and were about to kneel down when they held them, but Xue Yutang hurriedly stopped: "I don't have this here, a cup of tea is considered an apprentice." After speaking, he took the teacup of the two sisters.

Gao Jian stopped and refused: "That's not good, the apprentice must have the rules of apprenticeship, since you teach them skills, then she should kowtow to the apprentice!"
